Bug Black text on black background

[Morrus]

In the action fields (Amount and Optional Note) in the popup which appears when purchasing/transferring/donating/etc. credits, the input boxes are black text on a black background, making one's own input impossible to see.

Presumably that input text should be in the forum's default text color, not black?

Screenshot below. As you can see, I've entered "23" in the box (you can make it out if you squint real hard).

All addons are designed for the default style only; custom style discrepancies cannot be anticipated for all cases and is why the template system exists - for you to change anything as you see fit, especially in cases where it doesn't look right. Ask your style designer to fix that.

"Custom Style Discrepancies" like not having a White background? That's hardly unusual. Is it your contention that you were unable to anticipate that a site might have a dark background?

I am my style designer. I'd appreciate some advice on where in your product I need to look to adjust this. Which template, for a start? Or what CSS element that field uses. Or some kind of clue at least.

The template is credits_popup; it uses standard vb classes - I'm not specifically making anything a particular color, it is how your design ended up with it.

The vast majority of basic colors are common, white, black, blue, red etc. It would be impractical for us to try to anticipate those combinations with our modifications.

What we do though is ensure we follow standard procedure with such things which allows anyone who has customized the template to begin with to change it here also - it makes it easier to include the mod in any new skins which are created as well.

It's really one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't situations - we felt the best solution is to follow the vBulletin standard.

First mod I've ever come across which struggled with this issue - and I've come across a lot over the last decade. Most derive their colours from presets in the style CSS itself; a text input box, for example, being derived from the same CSS element as a new post field or one of the countless other text input boxes in vbulletin.

In thus case it's clearly - for some reason - been derived from a different CSS element than all the other text input boxes on the forums are. If you'd be so kind as to let me know which one, I can go change it in a matter of seconds. Thanks.

For anyone else having a problem like this, I found the solution eventually.

In the above template, go to the input fields and add class="bginput" into each of them. That makes it match other input boxes on your site (I figured it out by looking at the add reputation template to see what class it used).

Actually, it seems that because you are using vb3.8 (instead of vb4+) the default classes were too new for your version. I'll add back bginput conditionally.

Well, it did say 3.x on the tin!

Yes, but as we've said before - it was tested and looked fine using the default style But these classes will be restored on the next version, thanks for your submission.
